5. Read the text and answer the questions. “City Life: Two Perspectives” Living in a city offers different experiences depending on where you reside. Let us compare two areas: the City Center and the Industrial District. The City Center is very busy. There are many tall buildings, offices, and shops. The infrastructure is excellent. There are many bus stops and a subway station, so you do not need a car to get around. However, it is often noisy, and there are traffic jams during rush hours. If you are a mechanic, you might find it difficult to open a large workshop here because the rent is very high. On the other hand, the Industrial District is perfect for those who work with cars. There are many workshops, spare parts stores, and large garages. The streets are wide, and there are many roundabouts, which makes driving easier. However, there are fewer parks and cafes compared to the center. It is not very convenient for pedestrians because there are few pedestrian crossings. If you live here, you definitely need a car. When you move around these areas, you must know the directions. In the center, you often go along narrow streets. In the industrial zone, you drive straight past large warehouses. Both areas have their pros and cons. Some people prefer the comfort of the center, while others choose the industrial zone because it is closer to their workplace. Choosing the right place depends on your lifestyle and your job. 1. What are the main features of the City Center? 2. Why is it difficult to open a workshop in the City Center? 3. What makes the Industrial District convenient for mechanics? 4. Why do you need a car in the Industrial District? 5. What is the difference in infrastructure between these two areas? 6. How do you move around the City Center according to the text? 7. What factors influence the choice of a place to live?
